Mark.....They are very nice looking......
With respect to being hand made...... is it difficult to get the bait to track properly? How do you know it will track well before you finish it? How are the hooks secured? Do they ever pull out?
For me it would be a long learning curve...... congrats on great looking baits.
They're definitely survivors..... I've heard about 30% blood loss is fatal, and 7 or 8% of their body mass is blood..
Wish I could have been there but ya gotta keep the lights on...... congrats to all involved.
I can 2nd rustylures recommendation........ December was a good month on I-Bay. But I know they pulled all the docks in late December and I haven't been by the launch recently to know what it looks like with respect to ice.........
I've been using a Garmin 547xs (w/chirp xducer)for 2 years, and have no complaints....... The preloaded lake vu isn't extremely accurate, but I mostly troll Ontario/Erie and it's not a drawback in that application.
That is a great pic Whaler ...... we killed a fox in front of my new dog Porter (the black and tan) today..... it was the first in front of him, so it was a big milestone. You wouldn't believe the bucks we've been bumping around.
Pretty good perch fishing on I-bay the last 2 weekends....Not alot of real big fish, but you don't have to work too hard to fill a bucket with cleanable fish.....
I'm aware of cannonball designs that allow for tuning the cannonball to run to port and starboard, but I'm not aware of an in-cable device that accomplishes that........
